Shizuoka Single Malt UNITED S First Edition

As a successor to Shizuoka Distillery's third product, "Contact S," this is a blend of raw spirits from stills W and K. The different characteristics of the raw spirits from the two stills are harmoniously combined to create the unique flavor of Shizuoka Distillery.

At Shizuoka Distillery, we use two primary stills, K and W, to produce two types of raw spirits with different characteristics. The single malt "S Series" is a blend of both types of raw spirits.

The "S" in the product name not only indicates that it is the successor to Contact S, but also stands for Shizuoka, Spirits, Single Malt, and Sphere (celestial sphere).

"United" represents a further evolution, a harmonious fusion of the two spirits that encountered each other in "Contact."

Its smooth and well-balanced flavor could be likened to a sphere.
The fruity and light raw liquor from the steam-heated still K makes up the upper half of the ball, while the heavy and powerful raw liquor from the wood-fired still W supports the lower half.

The ingredients used are Japanese malted barley, as well as non-peated malt, peated malt, and beer malt from Scotland.

The barrels used for aging are primarily first-fill bourbon barrels, but also wine barrels.

In the future, the "S Series", which is a clever combination of the raw liquor from these two distilleries, will be Shizuoka Distillery's main product.

This commemorative first edition is the "United S First Edition." Please try it as a benchmark for single malt Shizuoka.
